Two Pink Lines

"You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen" - Paulo Coelho

 Just months ago some of my friends were telling me I should start a brutally honest blog about my dating experiences and today I saw 2 little pink lines that instantly changed my life. How life can change in a matter of 3 minutes.

Two little pink lines equal positive, positively pregnant...and positively not married. At first, I was overcome shock, worry, what would everyone think - would Nick want to stay with me - I was even to the point of pinching myself, making sure I wasn't dreaming. I was scared, scared to tell the man I love......I couldn't even look at him I was so scared. 

 We talked about it and realized that without further discussion, we love each other endlessly and we want to share that with our baby. We didn't have much time together and then I was off to work. By the time I got to work, I had a text, "Whether it was in 2 to 3 years, 10 years or today, I'm excited to start a family and build a future with you. We've been together for 3 months and 3 months ago I knew you were the one for me. I love you and can't wait to wake up every day for the rest of my life with you. Let's be happy and enjoy what God has coming for us!"

In that instant, I was happy, no more wasting time. In less than one hour of knowing, I was full of hope and love. It's weird how suddenly I felt this unconditional, limitless love for my baby - what should I eat, can I drink coffee, can I still run, I need to be more careful walking on icy sidewalks and driving. Everything turned from me, selfish Bridgette, to the baby growing inside me. 

Baby: Now to your dad, Nicholas Lanham...where to begin, he is very funny, somewhat charming, loves junk food, an excellent daddy and I am hopelessly, completely in love with him. You will feel the love and it will be magnified onto you, I promise you. 

You are no longer just 2 little pink lines, you are the biggest part of my world. I hope I can always make you feel that way. I just want you to know much I already love you and am I already dreaming of the day I meet you.
